You're assuming that they aren't trying: it's not too hard to try out bag-of-words and see what happens. But things like Attention and LSTMs are pretty good, but not without their costs.

I'm assuming the opposite: bag-of-words is the go-to baseline, but as another commenter pointed out, just separating instances based on vocabulary is not sufficient in today's sophisticated text classification problems.
